The Wallabies' Western Force contingent have dismissed any talk of a Subiaco hoodoo haunting their Tri-Nations clash with South Africa on Saturday, despite poor records for Australia and the Super 14 side at the Perth ground.
The Wallabies have won just one from four against the Springboks at the ground, which has also hardly been a fortress for the Force with the Perth-based Super 14 franchise managing just seven wins in three years there.
Four Force stars will line up on their home ground for the Wallabies on Saturday - five-eighth Matt Giteau, lock Nathan Sharpe and reserve backs Ryan Cross and Drew Mitchell.
“We're not really aware of that and it certainly doesn't come into our preparation so we're going out there to do what we have to, and for us that's to come away with a win,” Mitchell said today.
“It's going to be familiar. Obviously playing here the last couple of years with the Force I get to know the surroundings and the biggest thing (is) I guess we feel comfortable out there.”
